Coding for academic, government and industrial customers on Linux/Unix, Mac OS X, Android, iOS, and MS-Window operating systems, ISTI brings the reliability and support of commercial software to the world of research.

Geophysical Services
ISTI provides seismological and other geophysical science support to our customers. We have expertise in Earthquake Seismology, but have provided scientific support and applications development in other geophysics fields as well (e.g. radio nuclide detection, geomagnetism, atmospheric science, tsunamis, hurricanes). In seismology, we provide turnkey services for earthquake monitoring (induced or otherwise) at the surface or via borehole systems. ISTI also provides advanced processing techniques on the data collected by us or our customers. Some of the earthquake science we are experts in includes high precision earthquake location (or relocation), seismic emission tomography, passive seismic tomography, receiver function analysis, induced earthquake characterization, moment tensor studies, full waveform inversion, volcano monitoring, ambient noise tomography, and double-difference earthquake location.

Open Source Software
Many of ISTI’s projects are based upon the ideals of the open source software development community. For our customers who support open source software, ISTI builds custom solutions using existing open source software as a foundation, which saves our customers both time and money.
